Block Paving Nottingham

Our clients are always wondering if they would be better off having a tarmac driveway or block paving. They both have their merits and there isn’t really a one size fits all answer. We have a number of years experience with both materials and list below the key reasons for installing a block paving driveway Nottingham for your property and potential considerations to determining if it is the right thing for you:

Visual enhancer - Block paving designs can be customised in a vast number of ways, which can boost the visual appearance of your property. At Nottingham Driveways we can create a number of sample designs for you to choose from, which can be a simple more traditional design or be as complex as you want it to be. The possibilities are almost endless!

Environmentally friendly - As bricks are permeable (i.e. let water flow through them), rainwater can seep through, which will eliminate any standing water on your drive. This rainwater will then flow into the ground and seep into underground rivers. This has the benefits of helping to reduce local flooding, which is increasing due to impermeable materials such as concrete being the most comment in urban communities.

Surprisingly durable - Block paving is expected to last at least 20 years. This makes block paving highly durable!

Fairly low maintenance - Contrary to popular belief, block paving Nottingham are very low maintenance. Due to the advancements in technology with brickmaking, the material can withstand pretty much all the British weather has to throw at it. As long as you give the surface regular washes with regular soapy water, your block paving will maintain its pristine finish. Additionally, if a block gets cracked, you only need to replace the cracked block instead of the whole surface.​

​Potential drawbackThe main thing to watch out for with a blocked paving is the growth of weeds between the blocks. When we install our block paving driveways we will also add a weed control membrane, which helps to reduce the growth of weeds.
